Why am I not worried about the Cardinals? Here is a list of the best hitters in the NL. What is missing? Birds are missing. Yes, the Cardinals are surging...., but they are not good at the core - behind the plate. Take a look:

The biggest topic since I started blogging in 2000 has been Arcade games. I had my largest following.
Since then I get a fraction of the traffic I once did. I decided to see what are my top 10 since
moving to the Google platform for blogging. Now the biggest pulls are video game consoles and dice.

In April, we learned from Ford that Hybrid Ford Mustang are due out 2020. Then there were other rumors. Now we learn that a Mustang inspired SUV has been confirmed. Additionally, an all wheel drive electric mustang has been confirmed. The AWD version makes the all electric more palatable. Mustang owners love gas engines. But the newer performance engineered car nuts also know the benefits of planting HP over four wheels and what that means for track times.

Plenty of people are upset about high performance Mustangs loosing the manual transmission for increased performance. More people will be upset about an electric Mustang. Even more about a non rear wheel drive Mustang. But then again, there will be people that care more about Physics. My 2 pennies.

There is very little hard facts about either of these cars that Ford confirmed, but I expect there will be in a month or so. That is how Ford operates.

Battery life is going to be something over 300 miles. A front and rear e…

Cubs are having one of their best offensive years ever and yet are in second place and struggling badly on the road. With the numbers that Castellanos is having, I would like to see the Cubs keep him. Although Baez is clearly the best hitter and base runner on the team, he has been off track lately and the rest of the team is catching up.

As of August 20th, the Cubs have 9 players with double digit Home runs. In fact the slugging numbers a looking good so far. Odds are likely the Cubs will have three players with 30 or more home runs this regular season.

Tell me who you think is the best Cartoon Duo?

- Tom and Jerry
- Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck
- Willie Coyote and Road Runner
I did not include these because they never made it to the screen:
- Calvin and Hobbes

Just a little Javier Baez praise after I just learned yesterday that the Cubs had tried to trade Javier Baez in 2017.
Let's think about that.
With the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the Cubs would have fallen on the Cubs' collective face if not for Baez.
Theo believed the sole core or the Cubs is Rizzo and Bryant.

Currently, as of Aug 5th, 2019 - Javier leads the Cubs in every offensive stat except Runs and he is second.
I'm not sure who was dumber; the Cubs for trying to remove much of the Cubs Offense or the Tigers for not seeing the possibilities.

Yes, in 2017 Baez was not keeping up with Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant, but in 2018 and 2019 he performed much better
than both.
